    Maravilloso viaje en tren por los Alpes Austríacos y parte de los Alemanes. Casi dos mil metros de desnivel acumulados positivos y negativos. Una experiencia a recordar. Buenas rutas!!!!

    Menuda suerte que os dejasen todo un vagón de tren para vosotros solos, menudo detallazo. Esta gente si sabe quedar bien, jajaja

    Un fuerte abrazo
